Well Peter, that is pretty good data there.
I like the way you've pushed the processing as well, some of the colours are off a bit, but really that's not what you're looking at.
I think they cheated with the Hubble image and used IR (or a blend) for the luminance anyway, that's the only way you could get that transparent effect isn't it?
I'm trying my own M104 tonight, the seeing isn't that flash, but it's nicely placed and like you mentioned there's a nice guide star (or three). My only problem is with that I've had to rotate the camera about 90deg, so the scope is now out of balance slightly. I'm getting about 7-8Hz corrections still, so it'll be interesting to compare the results to find out what all that extra money gets you. You'll be able to use the comparison on your website, $6k scope vs >$50k? scope and mount.
Cheers
Stuart
